Attachments (buttons) are small tooth-colored composite shapes placed on certain teeth to help aligners grip and move teeth more predictably. Patients often worry they’ll be very visible, but in most cases they are subtle. Their purpose is precision: without attachments, rotations, root movements, and bite correction can become less reliable.
At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) uses attachments strategically based on the planned movement. They create controlled contact points so aligners can apply force in the right direction. Attachments are commonly used for rotations, vertical control in deep bite cases, and difficult tracking teeth.
Attachments may be adjusted during refinements if needed. The key is expectations: Invisalign success is not only “clear trays,” it’s biomechanics. Attachments are one reason aligners can treat more than minor crowding. When placed and monitored correctly, they increase predictability, reduce delays, and help deliver a stable bite that can be maintained with proper retention.
